By the powers of XML-RPC, I'm now able to update Loud Thinking from the comfort of a OS X application while still retaining the key benefits of being served by a web-application. That's especially nice since Movable Type doesn't support quick tags for formatting and linking in Chimera, but EspressoBlog (the OS X app) does.

Sadly, Espresso doesn't do any editing yet. Nor changes to the templates, sending of notifications, or any of the other more advanced capabilities in MT. It's just for posting and uploading files.
